Agnus Dei means Lamb of God. This powerful painting depicts the sacrificial death of Christ Jesus the Lord as a substitutional death for all mankind who would receive Him. Almighty God foretold of this coming sacrifice in the symbology of Passover written of in the Torah (Exodus). John the Baptizer recognized Jesus and pronounced, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world".
